WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers are rebutting the case made by House impeachment managers as they take their turn to present arguments on day four of his trial.

The former president’s defense team has 16 hours to make their case but lead impeachment lawyer David Shoen said they would likely only use three to four hours to present their arguments.

[caww]

Yes......Unfortunately Congress has a history of being an embarrassment and wasting time AND money. These managers want the camera time to strut their stuff. Just the ‘picks’ for this sham evidenced this early on.

However and importantly it was and is thus far the ONLY time Trumps defense was correctly and precisely presented as it needed to be .....TRUTH was seen and heard....and you can bet when that’s spoken it will always accomplish what it’s intended to those it’s intended to see and hear.

[patriot torch]

Good rebuttle argument by van der veen

[Guenevere]

You are so welcome!

[McGavin999]

He was furious. An honest man can only listen to lies for so long before they won’t take it anymore

[caww]

Very good rebuttle.

[caww]

I could listen to van der veen all day!

[PerConPat]

LOL...Liz Cheney is an honorary Rat...

[patriot torch]

And again he doubled down calling castro to the carpet

[BiglyCommentary]

Brutal smack down! “Where I come from, when you get caught doctoring the evidence, your case is OVER”.

[L.A.Justice]

Joint question for defense from collins and murkowski lol

The Trump lawyer did not answer that question very well...

Those two GOP Senators was curious about what President Trump did in White House after returning from the rally...

Trump lawyer just stated that more investigation needs to be done...He blamed House Democrats for not doing a complete investigation...He did not really answer their question...I have a feeling that Mr. Trump did not want to talk to his lawyers about what he did in the White House...That is why the lawyer answered the question in such a fashion...

Senator Romney asked the Trump team a question...Did Mr. Trump know about what was happening to Pence when he called the junior senator from Alabama? The Trump lawyer stated "no"...The lawyer did remind the senators to focus on the incitement charge...What Trump was accused of doing at the rally...

[patriot torch]

Here we go again with plaskett and her white privlege defense

[McGavin999]

I have to mute the tv when the dems speak, I just can’t stomach listening to them

[caww]

Oh no Cotton Candy is back up.....she is soooo unimpressive.

[BiglyCommentary]

Now it’s McConnell’s turn to be the honorary RAT.

Hilarious watching CNN pundits try to explain why a Democrat saying "Fight like hell!" is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Trump saying "Fight like hell!"— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 12, 2021

News flash for these never Trumpers, there was election fraude and the election WAS stolen

[Freee-dame]

When I saw the montage of “fight like hell” I wondered what time frame all those different people said that. We know that there are certain words that are sent out to be used by the media and the Dems on certain days. They never thought their words would come back to haunt them.

Of course the Ministry of Truth media is using the “but that’s different“ defense the Dems always use. And they have lofty moral reasons why it’s different. /s

[patriot torch]

Van der veen should respond, I am not here to litigate the election, for such response I will defer to my co counsel Mike Lindell. Lol

[noexcuses]

Van der Veen is p*ssed. Don’t blame him.

[PerConPat]

Van der veen cracked the whip on poor old Bernie. I love it.
